Does Life Have Meaning?

Everyone struggles at times to answerimportant life questions. What is right andwrong? What is the meaning of life?Why do people believe different things?Professor Leonard Swidler, author of morethan 100 books has explored thesequestions with many other professorsacross the world. Now, with his 15-year oldgranddaughter, Will, he explores deephuman issues, not with heavy language, but with thoughts and words from anexperienced grandpa to his open-eyed, open-hearted granddaughter.In this first letter to Will, Len explores thecritical importance of understanding basicwords like "meaning" and "love", whetherlife has meaning, or if we make itsmeaning. He does this by tracing theorigins of words and phrases, and bydrawing examples from philosophicalschools, like existentialism and dualism.All of this culminates to an immensely appropriate question: Is love the meaning of life?
